Please, with all do respect, look up Navy Aviation rank structure. For each Rate(MOS, job, etc.) the Navy has they have a slightly different rank structure. It goes Seaman(the most widely ranging one), to Airman, to Fireman to something else I can't recall at the moment.

I just know, deep down, that after a few days of sleep dep and being screamed at I would snap and attack the drill sergeant. And nobody wants that sort of guy as their battle buddy. I get that. But it still hurts.

If it is something you really want to do, you could probably make it. We had total **** bags who somehow managed to graduate, so if you actually want to sign up I'm sure that there are worse who have made it. Knowing that about yourself would be what keeps you from going off. Act right and keep your head down and they tend to leave you alone.

It isn't bad, it is hard to keep yourself in shape with a sergeant hounding you about it, but I try to keep going to the gym. Honestly being a guard medic is boring as hell. I just sit in an office and wait for one of the infantry to hurt themselves. I signed up to be out fighting with the infantry, so I'm hoping I can do so once I'm active. How is the active army?

Well I liked being deployed but garrison is pretty ****** . All depends on which unit you go to and whether or not they're deploying. Also even if you get sent to an infantry unit you still might get assigned to the aid station. Infantry unit is the best place to be though.

the new army is gay as hell. We couldn't drink, no smoking, the male/ female buddy teams, no overnight passes, lights out at 9 even on weekends, no fast food until gold phase, no food in our dorms even though the air force gets mini fridges. I don't smoke and rarely drink so it wasn't too horrible there, but it was like a prison environment.

Buddy, you should go to OSUT for the infantry, not as long but you wanna talk about a prison environment. Just imagine basic training and all the yelling and smoking and rules except instead of 10 weeks its 18 weeks. ( I'm an 11c so my osut is a little longer than the bravos)
